About This Work

The words of the old Christmas carol 'See Amid The Winter's Snow', which is also known as the 'Hymn for Christmas Day', were written by Edward Caswall (1814-1878). The music was composed by John Goss (1800-1880), an organist at St Paul's Cathedral and a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music. This setting by Ian Macpherson is a real alternative to those more traditionally used and full of the dynamic and rich scoring associated with his work; making it an ideal accompaniment to congregational singing or as a concert feature.

As with all settings of Carols and Hymns published by SafeMusic, the arrangement of the first verse is taken from the traditional harmonization. The choir parts are optional.
